Front-of-House Manager (Beverly)
Nestled in the heart of downtown Beverly, Delphine's Kitchen has become a beloved destination
where the sun-drenched flavors of southern France meet New England charm. Founded by
French-born chef Delphine Minogue, our cr perie has grown from a dream into a thriving
community hub that's earned a loyal following for both our culinary offerings and our warm,
welcoming atmosphere.

full bar featuring craft cocktails, curated wines, and distinctive beers. We're seeking a passionate
hospitality professional to help lead this exciting new chapter and refine our unique hybrid
service model.
